Liang San was an ordinary villager from Liang Family Village.
As a child, he had learned a few fist techniques. Some chance encounters in his youth had also given him modest accomplishments in martial arts. During his teenage years, he had even set out on the path of seeking immortals based on the tales he had read.
Perhaps his luck had been good. Through a chance experience, he learned that "immortals" truly existed, and had even personally witnessed immortals make their moves several times.
But who could have expected that his luck would end there? Cultivation required spirit roots, yet he happened to have none.
That had completely blocked off his path to seeking immortality.
Yet it was hard to say whether he was fortunate or unfortunate. Just when he had already lost heart and planned to save some money, return to his hometown, buy a house and several dozen mu of fertile land, he unexpectedly saved a cultivator from a sect.
Though he had no hope of cultivating himself, for the sake of his descendants, he accepted that cultivator's promise. He moved to the coastal region, gathered some refugees, and guarded a stretch of coast. Day and night, he traveled back and forth to a desolate island that surfaced in the near sea, no more than a hundred mu in size, watching over a Spirit Spring that had appeared there by chance.
With resources throughout the Cultivation World monopolized, even an ordinary sect cultivator would consider a Spirit Spring an unexpected delight. If not for its remote location and limited output—after being drained once, it needed time to replenish—they would have sent cultivators to establish a Marketplace here long ago instead of having mortals guard it for them.
For the sake of his descendants, Liang San endured the wind
